Brewers (Drohan) vs Rockies (Freeland): 6/7/26, 2:10pm

[Frisbee Slider]

33-year-old lefty Kyle Freeland takes the mound for Colorado. Freeland owns the worst ERA among starting pitchers in baseball this season, and his home/road splits are similar. On a brighter note, he limits walks and generates a strong chase rate.

Shane Drohan starts for Milwaukee. Drohan’s 2.78 FIP is #20 in MLB (min: 30 IP).

See, there is someone worse than Sproat.

Miz going 7 again a nice help for the pen. And of course Hamilton showing some level of power again is very nice. His career high is 8HR, so he always had more power than he was showing the first 2 months. I'd love to see a break down on his approach the last few weeks. He seems to be balancing taking some better swings to do some damage while still being willing to slap it around and use his speed.

Hasn’t Freeland been pretty good against the Brewers in his career?

Yes, but not last year. Source

Maybe a good time to give Yelich a day off.

Freeland is someone we’ve heard of, anyways. I couldn’t name a single Rocky before Friday’s game. 
 

Would like to get Chourio going again. It’s only two games removed from his two homer game in the last game of the Giants series, but 0-10 since, including in some big spots. I wonder if he fell in love with trying to swing for the fences - kinda human nature. We need his power, but I rather him be a tough out first.

Team has done a nice job of getting the bullpen rested up. Between Miz/Harrison length and the piggybacking even Ashby is rested. About to get tougher heading into All Star break so nice to have pen in a strong position.

Yes, nice to have more than a one run lead going into the late innings.

We have the 3rd best record in baseball.

Yet if the season ended today, we’d host the Padres for a series at AmFam in the Wild Card round and if they simply won a short 3 game series from us, our season would be over.

Baseball’s playoff format sucks.

Agreed. 

I know folks are unimpressed by division titles these days, but that's always the number one goal for me.

I imagine it's a Drohan-Patrick day, with Uribe and Megill and maybe Ashby around for leverage.
